I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

At first, Zou Kai didn't take Yang Xue seriously at all.

He doesn't care about all the nonsense online, nor does he care about a hater offline.

Handing it over to the group members and letting them show off their power is also a way to solidify their position.

Even if things escalate into contradictions, he can step in and play the good cop to resolve the situation, which in turn emphasizes his own status.

But Yang Xue didn't follow his script at all.

The hip-hop group members not only didn't gain any advantage, but were actually controlled by Zou Kai's live stream team.

What was even more unexpected was that another troublesome person appeared later, Gao Linlin...

"Why is Gao Linlin here...?"

"She disappeared for over a year, how did she end up here?"

Zou Kai was filled with doubt.

"Gao...Gao Linlin...what are you doing here?"

"Also! Don't call me number 30 anymore, I'm now the number 9 rapper in the Kyoto Hip Hop group! And I'm the leader!"

The girl with the sloping shoulder, upon recognizing the other person, tried her best to argue, but her demeanor was somewhat blustering.

To facilitate management, members of the hip-hop group, from the leader to the vice-leader, are arranged by number.

The smaller the number, the higher the prestige and status within the group.

Numbers 1-10 are all team leaders.

Gao Linlin was number 6 before she was expelled, and you should know that she was a freshman at that time.

As a junior colleague who knew her inside and out, how could the slanted-shoulder punk girl dare to utter a sound?

Seeing this, Gao Linlin sneered disdainfully and replied:

Even if you manage to get to number one, if I say you're not good enough, then you're not good enough.

The sloping-shoulder punk girl was immediately rendered speechless by Gao Linlin's mockery.

Those members who didn't know Gao Linlin wanted to stand up for their captain, but seeing that their hot-tempered captain always had this attitude, they backed down.

Gao Linlin's appearance reversed the situation.

She then turned to Zou Kai, the group leader who had remained silent, and said jokingly:

"Zou Kai, it's been almost two years since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to have risen to the position of regimental commander."

"How does it feel? So many lackeys barking around you, it must feel great, right?"

Gao Linlin was sharp and assertive, showing no leniency towards her classmate who was in the same grade.

Seeing that he had been singled out, Zou Kai, as the leader of the group, had no choice but to step forward.

Not responding now would be too demoralizing.

Although his musical talent is average, he is capable enough to take over his older brother's position.

Zou Kai rolled his eyes, then stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked up to Gao Linlin.

"Linlin, you're still so sharp-tongued."

"But the fact that you're here suggests you've privately made a deep confession?"

“Before graduation, my senior Parker and my older brother said that as long as you sincerely apologize and admit that you plagiarized their work back then, they will forgive you.”

As he spoke, he smiled and opened his arms wide.

"Their aggressive behavior stems from jealousy that I got to this position."

"It's okay, as long as you lower your head during the live stream, the position of team leader is yours!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Linlin immediately gripped the milk tea cup in her hand tightly.

The khaki milk overflowed due to external pressure, soaking Gao Linlin's slender hands and the ground.

Gao Linlin pointed at Zou Kai and shouted angrily:

"Apologize to your mother! Commander, let your mother do it!"

Yang Xue frowned upon seeing this.

"Oh no, Linlin has been led astray by this guy."

"That kid seems like someone special..."

Hahahaha...

As Gao Linlin broke down, a burst of laughter erupted around them.

Zou Kai's counterattack was very successful. He not only strengthened his own image, but also turned the tables on Gao Linlin.

No wonder, Gao Linlin is only in her early twenties at most.

She's an impatient person by nature, and the messy issues of family and bands have always been a thorn in her side.

When so many people are slandered, it's no wonder they're on the verge of losing their guard.

"Don't be angry, Linlin."

"Why are you in such a hurry...?"

Zou Kai still looked incredibly irritating; the more anxious Gao Linlin became, the calmer he became.

Gao Linlin stared intently at Zou Kai, her eyes practically murderous.

Her face gradually turned red, and her small shoulders trembled incessantly.

Just then, a hand gently pressed down on her shoulder, and a steady and pleasant voice rang in her ear.

"Linlin, the person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are."

"Think about our purpose, and don't let these snakes, insects, and rats lead us astray."

The person speaking was Yang Xue.

Hearing her senior's reminder, Gao Linlin realized that she was not fighting alone.

The milk tea cup in her hand gradually returned to its original state, leaving a shallow dent.

Fu Qingyang, who had been listening attentively, suddenly crossed his long legs, put his arm on the back of the chair, and turned to look at Yang Xue.

His eyes held a hint of scrutiny and contemplation.

He was surprised; he hadn't expected that a verbal battle between a group of young people could be so exciting.

Especially the woman in the gray casual clothes with no makeup.

Her calm and collected judgment on the spot was just like that of her deceased mother.

The tense atmosphere was extinguished by Yang Xue's two simple words.

Zou Kai narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the uninvited guest before him, feeling somewhat wary.

"Who exactly is this woman?"

"Why can just two sentences calm down the hot-tempered Gao Linlin?"

With this in mind, Zou Kai began to talk to Yang Xue.

"Excuse me, are you a viewer in our live stream, or are you a female streamer looking for an offline interaction with us?"

Zou Kai gave Yang Xue a way out, while also leaving himself plenty of room to maneuver.

If Yang Xue admits to the former, then it's a misunderstanding, and there's no need to hold a grudge once things are out in the open.

If Yang Xue admits to the latter, it implies that she is using public opinion to bring Gao Linlin into trouble and gain attention.

There's no need to make enemies during such turbulent times.

She wants popularity and buzz, so just give her some; you won't lose anything.

Neither of them.

Yang Xue responded calmly.

Zou Kai hesitated noticeably for a moment, but then Yang Xue continued:

"I'm here to challenge you to a PK battle on behalf of the square dance group."

"After hearing your remarks, I don't agree with them, and I feel very uncomfortable!"

Zou Kai chuckled upon hearing this.

"Oh, so you're the opponent from the day after tomorrow... My apologies."

Zou Kai said "I'm sorry" but his attitude showed no respect whatsoever.

He added:

"Miss, so what if you don't buy it? In the end, we still have to follow the rules."

"Moreover, the rules weren't set by me; they were set by Tiancheng's big boss, President Fu."

"If you're not happy about it, you can go and argue with him! Why are you bullying a student like me?"

Fu Qingyang frowned, a hint of confusion showing on his usually stern face.

That look seemed to say, "I didn't! I didn't! Don't you fucking talk nonsense!"

Yang Xue curled her lips into a smile and clicked her tongue twice:

"Tsk tsk... I must say, at such a young age, you're really adept at distorting the truth and generalizing from limited information!"

“An honest and simple student wouldn’t have your skills.”

Zou Kai scoffed and retorted:

"Ha, how did I distort the truth? Don't think you can label people just because you've picked up a couple of idioms."

Yang Xue's expression turned serious, and she spoke logically and persuasively:

"Firstly, after Tiancheng built the old city, it also issued an agreement to respect the elderly, but you never mentioned it."

"Secondly: Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. To stick to wrong rules is either a sign of mental incapacity or a desire for personal gain."

Thirdly, we initiated the PK purely because it is the only way to slap you in the face and the only way to get revenge.

Fourthly: I don't know what that Vice President Fu thinks. But given his current status and perspective, I don't think he would like people like you.

At the last sentence, the usually aloof Fu Qingyang actually smiled, his lips curving upwards.

Zou Kai was rendered speechless by these words.
